124 teachers receive residency training in Zamfara

No fewer than 225 primary school teachers in Zamfara State have undergone three months newly introduced Teacher Residency Training Scheme and formally received their certificates under the Zamfara State Universal Basic Education Board.
Speaking while presenting the certificates to the graduates of Teachers Residency Training Scheme, the Chairman Zamfara State Universal Basic Education Board, Hon. Murtala Adamu Jangebe said, the rationale behind introducing the new teaching blueprint by the board was to ensure that all teachers from across the 14 local governments in the state were qualified to teach in their respective primary schools as well as to ensure they acquire professional teaching certificates for the development of education in the state.
He informed that the training exercise was tailored on co- subjects and basic subjects which give emphasis on Sciences and English language.
Jangebe further maintained that, considering that primary school education is a basic foundation to advanced studies not only in the state but across the 36 states in the federation, his board would continue to ensure the sustainable conduct of the newly introduced Teacher Residency Training to all the primary school teachers without basic teaching qualifications in the state.
In his remark, the coordinator, North western states, Alhaji Mansur Idris Kankara, commended the Zamfara State Universal Basic Education Board for introducing the Teacher Residency Training exercise.
He said, the National Headquarters of UBEC will continue to give logistics support to Zamfara state SUBEB n order to enhance the development of education in the state.
